So scientists reckon they've found the reason some people seem to find it easier to be happy than others. They're calling it a 'happiness gene' that has different variants, some of which tend to deliver less of the 'feel good factor' chemical serotonin to the brain.
Well whatever the state of your genes or even your jeans for that matter - we reckon that a Wigwam Holiday can work wonders for anyone needing a mood boost. So we asked our Facebook friends to 'quote us happy' with what they enjoy most about our great holidays in the great outdoors.
Janeen Kilmurray says it's the "Fun, fun, fun" that she loves about Wigwam holidays. Rita Hargey says what she enjoys is having loads of fun round the camp fire with her friends. Sally Small told us "I love hearing the rain beat down in the Wigwam and a gale blowing outside and thinking of all the poor people in their tents!" "It's the freedom outside and the cosiness inside" comments Angela McCafferty, for Lorna Macleod "it's camping in comfort without any effort" and for Rosie Walker, it's "freedom, fresh air and the tranquillity of being in open spaces!"
And if you're still not convinced that camping can make you happy, the Camping and Caravaning Club have come up with further evidence. They reckon a holiday close to nature in the great outdoors can benefit your psychological wellbeing. They asked a thousand adults who camp regularly and a thousand who've never camped, how they feel on an average day. The campers were mostly more satisfied, happy, optimistic and energised. By comparison the non campers were more stressed, bored, frustrated and lonely.
So its official - a Wigwam Holiday could do you good. Why not book yours now!
